Auditions Set For L/A Community LIttle Theatre Production Of MY FAIR LADY

Auditions have been announced for the upcoming L-A Community Little Theatre (CLT) production of the musical classic "My Fair Lady." The open auditions will be held Sunday, August 18 and Monday, August 19, from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. at the Great Falls Performing Arts Center, 30 Academy Street in Auburn. Dr. Paul G. Caron will direct what has been hailed by many as the greatest musical of all time.

After Lerner and Loewe's "My Fair Lady" opened on Broadway in 1956, it collected six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, while the 1964 film version took home eight Oscars, including Best Picture. Based on George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion," "My Fair Lady" is that rare musical by which all others are measured. The tale of a cockney flower girl transformed into an elegant lady features one of musical theatre's greatest scores, including: "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?" "With a Little Bit of Luck," "The Rain in Spain," "I Could Have Danced All Night," "On the Street Where You Live," an "Get Me to the Church on Time."

For the closed vocal auditions, participants are asked to prepare and sing 16 bars of a song. Copies of the music will be available for anyone singing a song from the show. Those singing numbers from a different show need to bring the sheet music. No a cappella auditions will be allowed. (There will be no choreography). The auditions will also include group readings of sides from the script.

The theatre will present "My Fair Lady" October 18, 19, 24, 25, and 26 at 7:30 p.m., and October 20 and 27 at 2:00 p.m. For more information, please contact Dr. Caron at pcaron003@roadrunner.com. More information is also available on the CLT website.
